I cant afford a four year degree in Real Estate or Finance, but to get into property managment I read you have?

to have a four year degree in real estate, finance, business managment, accounting, or liberal arts. I really want to get experience in real estate, but people usually get hired if they have a bachelors or masters degree. I really want to do this and I got a ton of books from the library Im going to read. Is there a way to get experience so I can get into property managment without a formal education? Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated.
